I'm Larry G. Maguire, writer and artist from Dublin, Ireland. I write content for the web and I create photorealistic art. I also have a deep interest in the nature of human existence, where we come from, what we are doing here and where we are going. I write on subjects such as society, politics, culture, religion, philosophy and psychology. I never write for the sake of controversy, however, my stuff can be opinionated. some of it you'll like, some of it you won't, but I promise it will make you think.
